Chen Zikun laughed dumbly.
He finally understood.
Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang were aggressive on the surface, but in fact they didn't want to fight anymore.
Both sides were encouraging themselves to send troops to fight each other.
In their eyes, were they just half-hearted and militaristic?
Sun Chuanfang's trump card has been revealed.
Chen Zikun could predict what Qi Xieyuan was thinking, but he wanted to confirm it again and said: "Chief of Staff Liu, Sun Chuanfang doesn't even care.
I, Chen Zikun, am here to take care of little Sun Lang."
I don’t dare to covet Shanghai, I just don’t know how to divide Shanghai.”
Liu Yuke looked troubled and hesitantly said: "Let's take Sun Chuanfang away first and then we can discuss in detail how to divide Shanghai."
Chen Zikun knew that the other party was not sincere and said: "I don't care about Shanghai.
If Commander Fu can support me with food and ammunition, I can send Sun Chuanfang back to Fujian.
Can you believe it, Chief of Staff Liu?"
"Believe" Liu Yuke perked up, "I believe it so much.
Kun Commandery is like a god with his troops.
No one knows, no one knows.
Commander Kun has such ambitions.
How can Commander Fu not support him with all his strength?
Commander Fu said before coming.
Well, if Commander Kun can win Zhejiang, he will recommend you to be the patrol envoy to Jiangsu and Zhejiang."
Chen Zikun's face turned into a flower with a smile: "Okay, okay" but he secretly scolded Qi Xie for being cunning and cunning.
He had no intention of sharing Shanghai equally with him.
Qi Xieyuan's trump card was the same as he expected, that is, he did not want to lose Shanghai no matter what.
Thinking about it, he can understand that this war was initiated and organized by Qi Xieyuan, who gathered armies from four provinces and fought with Lu Yongxiang's main force for more than ten days.
Losing soldiers and generals costs a lot.
If nothing is gained, not only Qi Xieyuan will not agree, but his soldiers and generals will also not agree.
On the other hand, Sun Chuanfang and himself had gained territory in a province at a very small price.
Before they had time to digest it, they were bluffing with Qi Xieyuan just to make more money.
Thinking of this, Chen Zikun felt confident, and dismissed Liu Yuke with a few random words.
He kept thinking about Chen Yi's plan for him.
This plan sounded good, but it was very difficult to implement, which was to send troops to capture.
The Wusongkou Fort blocked the retreat of the Zhejiang and Shanghai armies, creating a trap for catching turtles in a urn.
Moreover, Wusongkou was the throat of the Huangpu River waterway, and goods transported from the Yangtze River to Shanghai had to pass under the Wusong Fort.
If you set up a trap at will, you would earn a lot of money every day.
But the fort is not that easy to attack.
It is a fortress.
It is guarded by large-caliber Krupp coastal defense guns and guarded by the Marine Corps.
With the little wealth under my command, it is okay to make a sneak attack when others are not prepared.
To storm the fortress is simply to seek death.
While he was thinking hard about countermeasures, the adjutant came to report and Li Yaoting came to pay his respects.
Chen Zikun was overjoyed: "Please come quickly."
Li Yaoting entered the headquarters with a cheerful face, bowed and said, "Send your regards to the commander-in-chief, little one."
Chen Zikun said: "It's so late, how did you get here?"
Li Yaoting said: "I have an important mission when crossing the line of fire this time.
There is an old friend who wants to see you."

Then he shouted outside: "Inspector Cheng, come in."
Detective Cheng Ziqing from the Political Section of the French Concession Patrol Room walked in with a smile on his face, stood up at attention, and saluted Chen Zikun: "Commander, you are fine."
Chen Zikun was in trouble several times in Shanghai and was helped by Cheng Ziqing.
When he met his old friend this time, he was naturally more polite and arranged for the guards to pour tea and cigarettes.
After a while, the pleasantries got to the point.
Cheng Ziqing said: "Commander Chen, I am a French soldier."
I have received a secret order from the consul to invite you to the concession to negotiate a truce."
It turned out that the concession authorities were afraid that the war would affect their interests and tried their best to urge the warring parties to cease fire.
However, when the war reached this point, they could no longer stop the car and had to decide the outcome.
Negotiations with the concession parties failed, so they had to use personal relationships to Among the three marshals, Qi, Sun, and Chen, Chen Zikun is the youngest.
He has studied in the United States and has been exposed to the civilized world, so he should be the easiest to deal with.
The Shanghai Concession is divided into two parts: the French Concession and the British-American Public Concession.
The French Concession Patrol House employs a large number of Chinese and handles Chinese affairs far better than its British and American counterparts.
The political team of the Patrol House is responsible for collecting political intelligence on China, and Cheng Ziqing is the leader of the political team.
A capable Chinese detective, he brought the Chinese people's all-round intelligence to the extreme.
He would not offend any political force, but deliberately made contacts and turned these relationships into his own intelligence resources.
Many years ago, Chen Zikun was injured in an assassination attempt on a British patrolman.
If it had not been for Cheng Ziqing's help, he would have died in Tilanqiao Prison.
Therefore, Detective Cheng asked for something, and he naturally agreed.
The next day, Chen Zikun, led by Cheng Ziqing, went to the French Concession for secret talks.
The war was approaching Shanghai.
The concession authorities were like a formidable enemy.
They erected barbed wire and roadblocks everywhere to block horses.
Sandbags were piled at the entrance of the concession.
French soldiers and Annan patrolled The number has tripled from usual.
Chen Zikun came with the guards, equipped with a large Nantai hat, a Browning automatic rifle and a box cannon.
The firepower was enough to rush into the French Concession, but it frightened the French soldiers so much that they blew the sirens from a distance. , set up machine guns, and all hid in the fortifications.
Cheng Ziqing hurriedly stepped forward to show his license and introduced the situation.
However, the French lieutenant who led the team said that the concession had regulations that prohibited Chinese armed soldiers from entering.
They must be disarmed before entering the concession.
When Chen Ziqing heard this, he turned around and left.
Cheng Ziqing Can be anxious On one side, he begged Chen Zikun to stay, and on the other side he tried to persuade the French army to let him go, but the French lieutenant did not give him any face.
He had no choice but to call the French consul and asked the consul to personally give the order before the French army moved away.
He opened the roadblock and let them in.
The meeting took place in a hotel on Xiafei Road in the French Concession.
French Consul Mr.
Pierre, representatives of the British and American consuls, and military attachés from various countries in Shanghai all attended the meeting.
Looking around, the conference room was full of white skin with high noses and sunken eyes, and the only yellow skin was He still looks like a Japanese dwarf.
Facing so many foreigners and playing in an away game, anyone else would have lost confidence, but Chen Zikun is still calm and calm, talking and laughing freely.
After a brief introduction by the two parties, they got to the point.
First, the French consul expressed concerns to Chen Zikun on behalf of the French Concession and the Public Concession, because the refugee flow caused by the war put great pressure on the concession authorities.
If the war did not end as soon as possible, the interests of foreigners would be will be greatly affected.
I hope Chen Zikun can exert influence on Qi Xieyuan and Sun Chuanfang to end this war as soon as possible.
The translator translated Pierre's words into Chinese.
Chen Zikun nodded after listening and said: "It is our consensus to end the war as soon as possible, but the prerequisite is that Lu Yongxiang and He Fenglin lay down their arms and surrender.

As far as I know, there are currently 30,000 troops in the Zhejiang and Shanghai armies.
Trapped in downtown Shanghai, they are the source of danger.”
Suddenly a British man stood up and said: "The person we are interviewing now is you, not Lu Yongxiang.
You only need to do your own thing and declare a truce.
We will deal with the remaining issues."
Another Japanese Army Lieutenant Colonel said: "If your army does not cease fire within the specified time, our concession authorities will use any means, including military intervention, to forcibly stop your actions.
Don't regard our patience as something to be bullied.
There are marines stationed in France, the United States, the United States and the Empire of Japan, and there are our warships in the Huangpu River.
If you insist on acting rashly, I believe the artillery will teach you a lesson."
The translator was busy taking shorthand, and just as he was about to speak, Chen Zikun had already spoken in an Oxford accent: "Sir, if I remember correctly, this is a bilateral meeting, not a superior interviewing a subordinate, so please don't use a commanding tone.
Talk to me, why did you invite me here if you have the skills to deal with this difficult problem?”
The British were stunned and speechless.
Chen Zikun spoke fluent Japanese again and said to the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel: "Baga, is this how soldiers of the Japanese Empire talk to their superiors?
The person sitting in front of you is a Chinese Army Lieutenant General.
Don't you even understand the basic etiquette?
Just reflect on it."
The lieutenant colonel's eyes widened with anger and he was about to draw his sword.
Chen Zikun responded tit-for-tat and threw the sword on the table: "Little Japan wants to play tricks, I will accompany you."
Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade them, and finally managed to quell an unnecessary disaster.
Lieutenant Colonel put away his saber angrily.
Chen Zikun switched back to Chinese and said eloquently: "No one wants to see the disaster caused by the war.
I am willing to end this catastrophe, but this requires the efforts of both of us.
I have a request.
I hope Mr.
Consul, Gentlemen, officers, I can agree.”
Consul Pierre said: "Please speak."
Chen Zikun said: "Lu Yongxiang is stubbornly resisting, and I must put strong pressure on him.
If you can help me take over the Wusong Fortress, form a comprehensive encirclement of the Lu Army, and dispel his last hope, the morale of the Lu Army will collapse, and the war will be able to be completed in the shortest time." end within the time limit.”
The diplomats and military officers whispered among themselves for a while, and except for the Japanese lieutenant colonel, they reached a consensus that foreign troops would not participate in the Chinese affairs, but they would not obstruct the harmless navigation rights of Chen Zikun's troops in the Huangpu River.
Chen Zikun said: "You foreigners have to erect memorial arches and stand on Chinese soil and say not to interfere in Chinese affairs.
I have seen you being shameless.
I have never seen you being so shameless."
The translators were so frightened that they dared not translate his original words truthfully.
They could only fool him.
However, the diplomats were all proficient in Chinese.
At this moment, they had no choice but to pretend not to understand.
Consul Pierre said: "In fact, we invited you here not to solve Lu Yongxiang.
He has already failed and is not worth our time.
What we care about is who will take over Shanghai and whether the other two companies that failed will challenge him."
War is our real concern."
As soon as he said this, everyone here looked at Chen Zikun eagerly.
All of these people are China experts and have a deep understanding of the temperament of Chinese warlords.
In order to compete for territory, the generals will do anything to make them give up.
The fat in the mouth is more difficult than reaching the sky.
Chen Zikun looked around and said: "No matter who takes over Shanghai, I promise you with the honor of a brave general that there will never be another war."

The harsh voice of the Japanese Lieutenant Colonel sounded again: "What guarantee do you have?"
Chen Zikun said: "You Japanese are familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and you must understand the balance of the three pillars.
After solving Lu Yongxiang, whoever provokes the war first, I will join the other side's armed mediation.
Under the pressure of absolute superiority, the war will not happen. " The talks did not reach anything substantial, and Chen Zikun left the French Concession.
Consul Pierre returned to the consulate and called British Consul General Johnson.
"Dear Pierre, was the meeting with General Chen successful?"
Johnson asked.
"This general is rude, brutal, aggressive, and an out-and-out bastard," Consul Pierre said.
"So, the talks were a failure."
Johnson seemed not surprised by the result.
"No, of course not."
Pierre said, "In fact, I admire this bastard's straightforward style.
Compared with those cunning Chinese marshals who wear long robes and mandarin jackets and hold opium pipes, he is straightforward and rough.
Cowboy, if anyone can end this war, it's him
